Question for the masses:

The dog ears supporting the shock tower on my front diff case got cracked off just after break in on my X-Term Deluxe. I drove it anyways for a while till the aluminum shock tower mushed in half too. I replaced the case with a stock one, but I have a feeling it will happen again. I hear people have come up with garage-born reinforcement solutions for this problem, but I can't find any details. An aluminum or carbon diff case would be SWEET!

Also, I replaced the shock tower with the carbon fiber one. Anyone have their 2 cents on this thing? I figured the aluminum one didn't cut it, so why repeat history, right? I know my steering skills aren't gonna improve anytime soon....

Thanks,

go to www.hobbypeople.net and go to the forums they have for their vehicles. to get there, go find the xtm x-terminator deluxe and click on the forum link. under the gallery section, there are many pics of diff reinforcements. also, just talk to the guys there. they are really knowledgeable. i think a guy there named dragman makes some nice braces; ask around. i know this stuff because i frequent the mammoth forum a lot.

Thanks a mil DUB. I will definately check it out.
